Hmmm this is strange, I'm just curious did your mom want you to be called
Nathalie saying the h or did everyone else just say the h. Because I say it doesn't really matter about the spelling rather how you want to say it. Maybe your mother just liked the name
Nathalie saying the h more than saying it without the h. But my name is
Marisa which can be said the spanish way which is like saying Marice with an ah at the end or the italian way which is like saying
Maris wiith an ah at the end. My mom wanted it to be said the spanish way but I always said it the italian way even if the spelling is more spanish. In Italian my name is more commonly spelled
Marissa. So really you can say your
Nathalie with the h or without it, it doesn't matter how it's suppost to really be just how you want to say it. I've personally always liked confusing people as much as I can and never have liked saying my name how it is most commonly said. Plus I just like the italian way of saying my name more than the spanish way. But darn those crazy canadians they always see the spelling of my name and say it the italian way so I never get to confuse them. Oh well. ^_^
